Thanks for the Memories

PackerNation, it was great.

We weren't supposed to be there.

Our quarterback was too old. He was supposed to only be there for individual glory. He wasn't supposed to make something out of nothing on third down and flip the ball while stumbling for a first down. He wasn't supposed to help. But he came through. He went above and beyond everything.

Our running backs were too young. Hell, we didn't have a running back. But still. They came through for us. They weren't supposed to do anything. Two rookies, a first-year player, and a journeyman? Please, nothing was supposed to happen. But it did happen. We had the horse and we rode him in.

Our wide receivers were supposed to be young and inexperienced. Not this year, but maybe next year. But no. THIS year. They pulled through. They made the records. They were clutch.

Our tight ends were supposed to be too old and nonexistent. But they weren't. One came through for us, even though they said he was too old. The other broke out and came out of nowhere and became a top tight end.

Our line was supposed to be too young and inexperienced. They had their moments. They weren't the line from 2003, but it worked. They cleared the path for the running game second half of the season while giving the quarterback plenty of time to throw.

The defense was supposed to be mediocre. Instead, they were great. Another dreadlocked star emerged out of the secondary while the other dreadlocked star held down the fort.

Our kicker was supposed to be too young. But he was in the led in the NFL in points. He was successful.

Fact is, we weren't even supposed to be close. But we were so close. Take pride in that fact PackerNation.

Thanks for the memories.
